Chapter 108 Jiang Xing discovers something is wrong with Jiang Yonghe
Hearing her sister's concerned words, Jiang Xing slowly withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Jiang Zhao, who was lying quietly on the hospital bed. "There are indeed a lot of things to do, so I figured I probably wouldn't be able to sleep if I went to bed too early, so I decided to come and check on Jiang Zhao's condition. I also brought you some pastries, so you can have something to eat if you get hungry tonight."
As he spoke, he put the bag he was holding on the bedside table.
Upon seeing the familiar paper bag, Jiang Yonghe's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Thank you, brother. It's actually pastries from my favorite pastry shop."
"Yes, I bought it especially because I know you like it." Jiang Xing said, sitting down on the stool. "I'll stay and talk to Jiang Zhao for a while before going back."
"Okay." Seeing that Jiang Xing didn't seem to be leaving anytime soon, Jiang Yonghe pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, and said softly, "Mom is very angry today. Grandpa has already investigated the car accident. There is surveillance footage proving that Second Brother tampered with Jiang Youli's brakes first. As compensation, Grandpa will give Jiang Youli 10% of the pharmaceutical company's shares and 30% of Starlight Entertainment's shares."
Jiang Xing's pupils suddenly widened, and her voice rose uncontrollably, "Xiao He, what did you just say? The old man plans to give Jiang Youli all 10% of the pharmaceutical company's shares and 30% of Starlight Entertainment's shares?!"
Jiang Yonghe nodded helplessly, "Yes, that's all."
Jiang Xing didn't come to the hospital in the afternoon and was completely unaware of the incident.
"This is absolutely outrageous! Even if Jiang Zhao was at fault and needs to compensate Jiang Youli, this is far too much! I've diligently managed Starlight Entertainment for years, and the old man only gave me 10% of the shares. What right does Jiang Youli, a wild girl who just returned to the Jiang family, have?! Besides, she's about to marry Qi Huan. Giving her so many shares is practically handing them over!" Jiang Xing was furious. "The old man is really senile!"
Jiang Yonghe explained, "If it were just Jiang Youli, she would only be compensated with 10% of the pharmaceutical company's shares. But Qi Huan also got involved, demanding that the compensation for him be given to Jiang Youli. The old man didn't dare to refuse, so he had to agree to give Jiang Youli 30% of Starlight Entertainment's shares as well."
"Bastard!" Jiang Xing slammed his fist against the wall.
This car accident caused their family a huge loss.
After a while, he calmed down and looked at Jiang Yonghe with a serious expression, saying, "Xiaohe, you don't need to worry about the company. During this time, you just need to do what Dad said and get Zhou Yi to forgive you."
After he finished speaking, he gently patted Jiang Yonghe on the shoulder to show his encouragement.
Jiang Yonghe nodded, "Okay, big brother, I will try my best to do it."
Afterwards, in order to pretend to try to wake Jiang Zhao up, Jiang Yonghe began to recall some interesting things that happened between her, Jiang Xing and Jiang Zhao before Jiang Youli returned to the Jiang family.
As Jiang Xing listened, the gloom between her brows began to fade.
Jiang Zhao, who was still conscious, felt disgusted and wanted to vomit when he heard Jiang Yonghe reminiscing about the good old days: She really knows how to pretend. One second she was insulting him, and now she can pretend to be so beautiful and flawless in front of her brother!
By the end, Jiang Yonghe's voice was choked with sobs, "If I had continued to marry Young Master Qi, Mom and Dad wouldn't have had to bring Jiang Youli back to marry in my place for my happiness, and wouldn't my second brother have turned out this way?"
Jiang Xing hugged her shoulders tenderly and comforted her, saying, "Xiao He, don't think like that. Bringing Jiang Youli back wasn't your decision; it was a decision we made together with Mom and Dad. Don't take all the blame on yourself."
Jiang Zhao wanted to shout: "Brother, don't be fooled by her pitiful appearance!"
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it!
After calming Jiang Yonghe down for a while, Jiang Xing finally let go of her. "Xiaohe, I'm going back now. Please take care of Jiang Zhao here."
Jiang Yonghe wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded, "Yes, don't worry, big brother, I will take good care of second brother."
Jiang Xing didn't suspect anything. She got up, glanced at Jiang Zhao on the hospital bed again, and turned to leave. But out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a small red dot on Jiang Zhao's elbow.
He stopped turning around, frowned, and walked towards the hospital bed to carefully check what the small red dot was.
Just then, Jiang Yonghe quickly got up, pulled Jiang Zhao's arm back under the covers, and said apologetically, "The weather is getting colder and colder. I was too careless. I can't let my second brother catch a cold."
Jiang Xing was still puzzled when Jiang Yonghe waved her hand again as if to shoo away mosquitoes, "But there are still mosquitoes here at the hospital. I got bitten a few times last night."
Seeing that Jiang Yonghe did indeed have a few small red spots from mosquito bites, Jiang Xing dispelled his doubts and said, "If there are mosquitoes, bring mosquito repellent tomorrow."
"Mm." Jiang Yonghe nodded.
Jiang Xing didn't say anything more and turned to leave the ward.
Jiang Yonghe personally saw him out. Standing at the ward door, she waited a while after confirming that Jiang Xing would not turn back after entering the elevator before closing the ward door and letting out a sigh of relief.
That was so close! I almost got caught giving Jiang Zhao an IV!
Jiang Yonghe returned to her seat, quickly took out a small syringe from her bag, and without daring to delay any longer, directly injected it into the red dot on Jiang Zhao's elbow, pushing it all the way in one go. Then she neatly put the small syringe back into the lipstick and hid it.
After doing all this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems I need to be more careful next time I do something like this.
……
In the elevator.
Jiang Xing recalled Xiao He's series of reactions after he entered the ward tonight and felt that something was off. But what else could Xiao He do in the ward besides take care of Jiang Zhao?
Perhaps it's because I've been preoccupied with too many worries lately, and I'm making a big deal out of nothing.
With that in mind, Jiang Xing temporarily put these doubts out of his mind.
But after going down to the basement and getting out of the elevator, he retrieved his car from the parking lot but hesitated to start it, still harboring doubts.
He remembered that he had asked Jiang Zhao to investigate whether someone had tried to harm Jiang Youli before she was brought back. He wondered if the people Jiang Zhao sent had any news.
With growing doubts, Jiang Xing decided after much deliberation to get Jiang Zhao's phone the next day to see who Jiang Zhao had sent to investigate Jiang Youli's dark past and what the results of the investigation were.
Finally, he took out his phone and dialed his assistant's number.
"How is the master thief doing?"
"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, the master thief has been successfully detoxified and is currently undergoing further observation and treatment in the hospital," the assistant replied.
Jiang Xing continued, "Alright, tomorrow you can ask him if he'd be willing to take on another task. This task is relatively simple and easy, with absolutely no risk. Of course, the commission will still be paid to him according to the same standard as last time."
Upon hearing this, the assistant asked, "Okay, what does President Jiang want the other party to steal this time?"
Jiang Xing hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind and slowly said:
"A woman's handbag."
